One Hour Dinner Rolls

Homemade bread is one of my favorite things. I love the taste, texture and freshness of the bread. Making bread isn't all that difficult. I used to shy away from baking bread because I thought it was difficult and very time consuming. And at times, my loaves came out looking like bricks. However, with some practice and a few failed attempts, I now love making bread.
I have a few Bread cookbooks, but I find most of my bread recipes on the Internet. I like the variety and the baking tips from the different sites. I found this recipe on Our Best Bites website. A very easy recipe with great tasting results.

1 tablespoon rapid rise/quick rise yeast (or if you have packets, one packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) will work just fine))

1 1/2 teaspoons table salt

1 egg at room temp (place in a bowl of warm water for at least 5 minutes)

additional melted butter (a few tablespoons) for brushing on at end

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. Place
milk, butter, and sugar in a microwavable container and heat for about 2
minutes. You want this mixture to be between 120-130 degrees, for best
results use a digital instant read thermometer to gauge the
temperature.

3. While
the mixture is heating, combine 3 1/2 cups of the flour, yeast, and
salt in a mixing bowl. When milk mixture is heated to about 125
degrees, add to the flour mixture and start to beat. Add egg and
continue to beat until everything is combined. Scrape down sides of
bowl and then add the remaining flour, 1/4 cup at a time. I almost
always add 4 1/4 cups total. The dough will be very soft and sticky.

4. Place
remaining flour on a cutting board or silicone mat (or additional
flour, if you used all of yours in the dough) and very gently scrape
out the dough using a spatula. Dust the top of your dough with flour
and then using your hands, lightly pat the dough into a rectangle.

5. Score
the dough into sections (24 for dinner roll size) and gently form
portions into balls. Place in a 9x13 pan that has been sprayed with non
stick spray. Let dough rest for 20-30 minutes until puffed and almost
double in size.

About Me

Throughout my lifetime, I have been passionate about food. Whether it be cooking food, eating food, researching food, experimenting with recipes, I loved it. I started my cooking adventure at home watching, and helping my parents, grandmother, aunt, and cousin cook. As I got older, I got more involved in cooking. Eventually, with the help of my trusty cookbooks, I was cooking meals on my own. Eventually, I started experimenting with adjusting this and that in recipes. I also started experimenting with duplicating meals I ate at restrauants. Some meals were great experiments, others were not so great. I have had my recipes published in "Taste of Home" publications. Thank you for visiting From My Southwest Kitchen.
